It looks like Keith has at least three... I'm sure he will chime in but just in case. :^)“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”---Margaret Mead

Ian and Kevin pointed you at my hosts. The 2700X has been very solid for me. Much better than my first generation 1700X and 1800X cpus. I can get all core clocks of 4.025Ghz on them with very reasonable 1.34V cpu voltages. That keeps the temps to around 70° C. or so with AIO cooling.

They also handle decent memory clocks, but that also goes part and parcel with a decent motherboard. I use the ASUS Crosshair VII Hero mobo. I run 3466Mhz at CL14 latencies with fast secondary timings.

My hosts show what you can expect out of the current task types with decent memory and cpu clocks with a 2700X.Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours

Hope you were able to snag the 2700X that was on sale for $199 at Amazon today or $159 at Newegg.com. Looks like all that stock went quickly. Now only third party sellers have any stock for much greater prices.Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours

That $150 price on Newegg was for the non-X 2700. I was drooling at that one until I remembered I don't have discrete graphics yet.Seti@home classic: 1,456 results, 1.613 years CPU time

The non-X 2700 can be overclocked to behave exactly like the 2700X with a few tweaks in the BIOS. That was discovered back in the non-X 1700 days. It just won't have XFR.Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours

And its got 5 pcie slots so with riser cards it will run at least 5 gpus. Maybe more....

eXtended Frequency Range. Just an automatic frequency overclock by the cpu that automatically overclocks whenever the cpu can stay within its thermal and power limits. Ryzen Gen.1 did not have it nor did the non-X versions of Gen. 2. Gen. 3 has XFR2 now. Also the cpus have Performance Enhancement and Power Boost Override. Both are additional overclocking algorithms built into the cpus. PBO and PBO2 allow the user to override the normal AMD power limit budgets that allows the cpu to overclock further and for longer. You access the those menus in the BIOS or through the Ryzen Master program.Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours

I take the BOINC master code branch and recompile it to "spoof" more gpus in the client than I physically have. That way the scheduler sends me 48 gpus worth of work instead of 4. Don't have to worry about long Seti Tuesday outages or unexpected server downtime issues.Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours

The scheduler code has, or did have, a limit for the number it is willing to accept from the client. So any value over that would be ignored.SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the BP6/VP6 User Group today!
